I received the cufflinks today.  I am speechless.  You did everything perfectly.  I wasn't sure how big or small they would be, but they are the exact right size.  I wasn't sure how much of the surface area the images would cover, but they cover the exact right area.  The engraving is gorgeous.  You really made me the most special 50th birthday gift I could hope for...I will proudly wear my Leo-engraved cufflinks.

Thanks you so much, you did a beautiful thing

We received the necklace yesterday. It is amazing!!!!!! My wife told me it was the most thoughtful gift I have given her in our 20 plus years together. I really appreciate your efforts and will let others know about your work.

Thanks and God Bless

the story (in a nutshell)

It was the loss of a special dog that led me here.  After he died, I made a reliquary, with fuzz from his favorite tennis ball, his hair tied in silk thread, and soil from his burial site.  Wearing it gave me a tangible connection to my memories of him.

When people began asking if I could make a memorial for their lost loved ones, I realized the power of jewelry. It is so much more than just pretty adornment.  

Jewelry provides a way to preserve a moment in time:  to touch memories.  It reminds you of who you are, and who you love.

I create jewelry that feels like a  hug and invites you to wear your love.
